I want to start off by saying this is not my primary vehicle. I have a Triumph Street Twin and a Nissan Leaf that are my primary forms of transportation (plus a bike and an electric bike, and an electric truck that is currently a project). I plan on putting a hitch on my car to use with a small trailer for most loads. But, sometimes you need a truck.

So my plan is to make quite a few modifications do it, It’ll take me a while, as I have many other projects I’m working on too. Here is my beginning list, I welcome any thoughts or suggestions.

Aerocap
(I’ve already partially made one out of wood)
It’ll be hinged at the front, with legs to hold it open (and maybe a canvas attachment to convert it to a tent).

Dual Exhaust
I need to figure out how much of an improvement this will make, as it’ll require relocating the gas tank to the bed.

Rear wheel covers/better tires/rims.
Maybe front wheel covers too

Undertray or air dam
With the high ride height, I think smoothing out the underside would make more sense than an air dam.

Front Grill/bumper
Not sure what I”m going to do here yet.

Remove engine components
replace fan with electric
remove alternator, replace with battery w solar/plugin charging
remove AC, replace with?

Auto stop/start
No idea if this is even feasible as a mod.

Any thoughts or suggestions for other mods are welcome.
